Simple Appetizer – Fried Codfish Balls

Photo by jasonlam

Growing up with my Italian relatives added a whole bunch of yummy cooking ideas to my recipe box.  This particular side, usually prepared around any major holiday meal, is a personal fave.  Because all spices are ‘to taste’,  this recipe is easily modified.  It works with any seafood, really, but my best experience is with Cod.

Bruno Family Codfish Balls

Salt and Pepper to taste
Parsley, parmesan cheese, garlic powder to taste
1 lb Cod  (This can be salt cod or fresh)

Mix together all ingredients for batter.

Cut the fish into bite sided bits.  Dip each piece into the batter.

Deep fry  in hot oil until golden brown.
